KSP Tour
Overview
Along with a small group of
devoted, passionate kite surfers, president and tour manager Kristin Boese
leads the KSP Tour in an effort to establish a professional, competitive kite
surfing tour, dedicated to the surf aspect of the sport. Finding this element
lacking in other tours, a core group of riders realized the need for such a tour,
and sought out to create the ultimate wave circuit, where top riders could
perform and compete in the best wave conditions in the world.
This year, the KSP tour
begins in Mauritius on September 23rd. Located in the southwest
Indian Ocean, Mauritius sits to the southeast of Africa and enjoys a tropical,
warm climate. Located in a prime position to receive ample trade winds and
consistent swell, Mauritius boasts a number of flawless surfing spots,
including One Eye, Tamarin Bay, Cap Dal Express, and Souillac. The Kite Surf Pro Tour will take
advantage of the plentiful waves and reliable winds at One Eye to deliver an
exciting first stop for riders and audience members alike.
Peru represents the second
stop of the KSP Tour. Situated in the northwest corner of South America, Peru
boasts some of the longest waves in the world, attracting surfers and kite
surfers from around the globe. The
KSP Tour has strategically scheduled the second tour stop to coincide with the
region’s best season for wind and waves in Peru. Possessing an impressive array
of dense, barreling waves, the Kite Surf Pro Tour organizers remain keenly
aware of the prime kite surfing conditions that Peru offers.
The last KSP Tour stop of
2011, Sal/Cabo Verde, stands out as yet another ideal location for both wind
and waves. Retaining a long reputation of consistent swell and strong, steady
winds, Cabo Verde has acted as host to a number of windsurfing, kite surfing,
and other surf related tours in years past. Well equipped to deliver favorable
conditions, the island of Sal also enjoys ideal infrastructure for tourism,
media, and visitor events. Cabo Verde receives most of its wind from the
northeast direction, with a combination of both wind and Atlantic Ocean swell.
